MS ZENOBIA
MS Zenobia was a Swedish built Challenger-class RO-RO ferry launched in 1979 that capsized and sank close to Larnaca, Cyprus, in June 1980 on her maiden voyage.
She now rests on her port side in approximately 42 metres (138 ft) of water and was named as one of The Times top ten wreck diving sites in the world in 2003.

The Zenobia was built at the Kockums Varv AB
shipyard in Sweden and
was delivered to her owners Rederi AB Nordö in
late 1979.
She left Malmö, Sweden on
her maiden voyage, bound for Tartous, Syria on 4
May 1980, loaded with 104 lorries with cargo destined for Mediterranean and
the Middle East.
She passed through the Strait of Gibraltar on 22 May 1980, stopping first at Heraklion, Crete and then to Piraeus, Athens,Greece.
On the way to Athens the captain noticed steering problems and the Zenobiabegan listing to port. Following checks, it was determined the list was caused by excess water that had been pumped into the ballast tanks, this was pumped out and she then departed for her penultimate stop at Larnaca, Cyprus before reaching Syria.
She arrived at Larnaca on 2
June 1980, where the ballast
problem had reoccurred, engineers discovered that the computerised pumping
system was pumping excess water into the side ballast tanks due to a software error, making the list progressively worse. On 4 June, the Zenobia was towed out of Larnaca harbour
to prevent her becoming an obstruction should the worst happen and was left at anchor roughly 1.5 –
2 km offshore.
On 5 June, with the ship listing at around 45° the captain dismissed the engineers and maintenance crew and requests from the captain to return her to Larnaca harbour were denied.

At around 2:30am 7 June 1980, the Zenobia capsized and sank in Larnaca Bay to a
depth of roughly 42 metres (138 ft), taking
her estimated £200 million worth of cargo with her. According to local legend, the Zenobia 's owners never collected
the insurance money and no formal investigation has ever been published.
Since sinking she has become
a popular dive site for visitors to Cyprus and
was named one of the world's top ten dive sites by The Times in
March 2003.
